There were days I spent waiting to hear God's voice,  but more often than not, I was busy trying to make my marriage work, too fearful even to pray.  I kept silent about what was happening, I never asked for help, I was too ashamed, "how can a relatively smart woman end up here?," I asked myself.

When I look back, my opportunities in life were countless, you could even say I was envied by many who knew me.  So why... why, did I end up hiding for safety from a man I chose to spend my life with? Today I can think of several reason, but it took me decades and a lot of dark days to find answers.

Although I have forgiving him, even before he passed, writing here may be what I need to completely heal, because even when we think it's over it's not really over.  The reason why I married him in the first place is still the central issue.

I'm sure many of you, including men who are trying to live up to an impossible stereotype, have similar stories of abuse. My wish is that the time will come when you too can share your story, live fearlessly, passionately, and be exquisitely confident of the person looking back at you in the mirror.

With love,

Christine

It's of a Brené Brown, Lauren Daigle kind of a day.  

Welcome to "A Journey of Prayer" and to my first Blog (ever).

Enjoy Lauren Daigle's song "You Say" and Brené Brown's Ted talk  links on Vulnerability at the bottom of the page.

I am excited to share my journey with you however there is one thing.... to do this I’m going to have to make myself pretty transparent and vulnerable, and this is not my favourite thing to do.

I’m normally a very private person so revealing my fears, my pain, and my past is like being naked on stage.

My passion for Jesus Christ is similar to being in love, you want to keep it intimate, safe and sacred. That soft gentle voice I’ve been hearing for decades however has been telling me to share my passion and invite others to do the same. 

I am proud of who I am, who I’ve become, and what I have accomplished to get here, yet I still fear being judged. I am a work in progress, but every day I get closer to accepting and embracing the good, the bad, and the not so pretty.

It’s taken me decades to heal some of that pain, but writing two books, one published, “A Journey of Prayer, Finding Heaven” and one not (but will be soon) “ The Agony and Ecstasy, a Mother’s Prayers" has helped me heal my past.  My studies to become a Healing Touch Practitioner and doing the work has also been life changing both for myself and the people I have worked on.

I wrote these books while trying to heal some of my darkest days. The irony is that  I never wanted anyone to read them because they would discover a past I felt ashamed of, an abusive husband, and why I allowed myself to marry him. (more on that another time).  

Today I have decided to send off that fear with love and compassion, and proud of my many accomplishments.  I feel gratitude for my two incredible sons who have become beautiful young men, a loving and supportive family, and my dear friends. 

Prayer and my faith is what heals me, so this site is dedicated to God, Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour, I love You with all my heart.

With love, 

Christine
